SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)
Civil commitment of sexually violent predators. Authorizes the civil commitment of persons convicted of a violent sex offense or persons charged with such an offense and found unrestorably incompetent whose mental abnormalities render them so likely to commit sexually violent offenses that they constitute a threat to the health and safety of others. Such persons will be committed for an indeterminate period to facilities operated by the Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services for treatment and confinement consistent with their needs. The measure is effective January 1, 2001. This bill is identical to SB 845.
